I didn't say that they weren't going to be there, but that 2 separate shows. One is a private show with no press allowed and another is a gaming demonstration(I never said anything about them abandoning the show). But not having an hour(ish) to dedicate your company showing what they're going to be releasing is a bad move on Nintendos part.
This is the one time where Nintendo should really be pushing the WiiU and 3DS because they need to keep the systems on everyones thoughts especially during the talk about the two next consoles. Having a smaller attendance really doesn't help them in anyway.
The problem with Nintendo direct is that only those with access to Nintendo Direct can see it. The more hardcore userbase who have a WiiU and 3DS. It's not catered to everyone. Again, another problem. Plus this is Nintendo were talking about, it's nothing for that company to rent the Nokia Theater for around an hour. (Also where did you get the statistics saying it costs millions to rent the theater?)
The WiiU being called an add-on why is that bad? It's a fine assumption to make. You don't have a series like N64 and then GameCube to Wii and WiiU. At first the WiiU does sound like an add-on due to the name distinction. Even so, we know it's not an add on but after all the marketing Nintendo has put behind the system, it still didn't reach their 5.5 million expectancy(and when did any company ever care about having something taken the wrong way? Even with the WiiU sales(and correct information) its financially failed). I highly doubt Nintendo were worried about people thinking the Super NES was an attachment for the NES
I dont get how my comments can piss you off when all I've done is point out the statistics and draw comparison to a past console. Its true games like BioShock still haven't come out for it. It's true exclusives like NG3: RE and Rayman: Legends were ported to Xbox and PS3. It's true the WiiU only got Virtual Console 6 months after launch. I don't like "ragging" on Nintendo but the WiiU is a meh console that has minimal appeal and minimal software.
